India will not reduce greenhouse gas emission at the cost of development and poverty alleviation. India is struggling to bring millions of people out of poverty. We cannot accept binding commitments to cut down greenhouse gas emission.

"Could be"? Pfeh! The governments of the West may be idiots. I'll grant the government of India may be idiots (they certainly tried that socialist crap for a hell of a long time) but the government of China has never been stupid (socialism wasn't something they tried for economic reasons, it was a prime way to control a billion people). They know what ludicrous crap GW is, and probably STILL would not care even if it wasn't.

So I doubt if India will bite on that crap, and I'm damned sure China won't.
